Proverbs 19:6-8
Tree of Life Version
6 Many seek the favor of the generous.
Everyone is a friend to a giver of gifts.
7 All a poor man’s relatives despise him—
how much more his friends avoid him.
He pursues them with words, but they are not there.
8 One who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
One who treasures understanding prospers.
Proverbs 19:6-8
New International Version
7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives—
how much more do their friends avoid them!(C)
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
they are nowhere to be found.[a](D)
8 The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.(E)
